Hey everyone,

It has been a long time since the last post, but I'm taking a study break during all of my exams. My exams are all pretty spread out ... I have two tomorrow ECON and the my RA class, then Statistics on Monday and Spanish on Tuesday, and then the last one on Friday which is Sociology. I am not too worried because I've been doing well in the classes and I have already scheduled in all of my study times over the next week.

BIG NEWS! I finally did a tuck, which is where I stand and jump and tuck over. This is the skill that I needed for Varisty, and now I have it, so I don't really know what is going to happen over the next few weeks, but I'm just so pumped that I have finally done a tuck after a year and a half! Maybe one of the biggest accomplishments of my life.

I am also going to be in a parade for a cheerleading gym and I'm getting paid $20 or 25 per hour, and I'm working for about four hours, so that'll be some nice extra cheddar for the holidays. I am excited about that.

I am participating in dance marathon this year. Dance marathon raises money to support families of sick children and the children themselves at UNC hospitals. This is a huge event at UNC where students register to dance for 24 hours straight and also collect $100 in contributions. So I was wondering if yall could pass this info along to friends and family who may be interested in supported the patients at UNC hospitals and their fams! Here is my firstgiving site where people can donate online (http://www.firstgiving.com/jacobnewbauer).

LATER!
